Learn Fusion 360 LESSON 5: Understanding Parametric Design
One of the most important concepts in 3D CAD modeling is the concept of Parametric Design. In Parametric Design, you do not used constant values for dimensions, but you use variables. Then you have a table where you put all the variable values. Good parametric design technique allows you to create 3D objects which are very easy to edit, and very easy to adapt to new applications. In this tutorial we will show you how to develop good parametric design habits. We take you through a design example step-by step to show you how its done. Enjoy!
Learn Fusion 360 LESSON 4: Using the Move Tool
One of the most important tools in Fusion 360 is the move tool. The move tool is not as intuitive as you might expect, so this lesson takes you through its use step-by-step. By the end of this lesson you will be a master of the Fusion 360 move tool. Enjoy!
Sketchup Tutorial LESSON 13: Hitting the Wall
Sketchpu
In this lesson we hit the wall with Sketchup as we find that more complex 3D designs can be created, but errors occur when the .stl files are generated, and therefore these more complex shapes can not be printed. The challenge is for some of these designs, even .stl file corrector can not fix the problem. Bottom line is that for more sophisticated designs, we need to move to a more capable CAD software system.
SKETCHUP TUTORIAL LESSON 12: How To Use the Rotate Tool
In this lesson we learn how to use the rotate tool in Sketchup. This tool allows you to rotate and realign 3d objects that you have created. This is a useful tool, and one you know how to use properly.
